Edit Orders MOD Sales Tax Problem

[clayton]

The Edit Orders mod version 1.5.3 does not properly calculate sales tax on the shipping costs.

I looked through the code and it seems there is a way to universally tax shipping but the only time we need to tax the shipping is if the customer is in one of our zone definitions.

For example: I have a zone for Virginia for 5% sales tax and a customer is also from Virginia, when I go to update the order the tax calculated is only that of the products in the order.

When I have a customer from any other state then no sales tax is collected so I don't think the $AddShippingTax variable is going to help me.

Am I missing something? Should I use a different mod like Super Orders instead? I didn't like Super Orders because its installation is very invasive and has a set of bells and whistles that I wasn't looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Because the shipping tax rate of each order is not stored in the database, there wasn't a good way to fix this. Version 2 (see my signature) allows you to enter a shipping tax rate before changing an order. Not the best solution, but it does the trick.
